Definitions

  • the ingot mold and the frames for the guide rollers mounted therebelow to hold and guide the cast ingot are mounted on a support base.
  • the ingot mold is mounted at an upper part of the support base on an oscillating table or platform which is guided by fixed elements rigidly affixed to the support base. These fixed elements are arranged to impose upon the ingot mold an oscillating movement in the direction of the casting axis.
  • Each' set of guide rollers comprises a rigid frame forming a straight or arcuate girder, depending on the type of casting, whereon the guide rollers are mounted to guide and hold the ingot, the frame being affixed to the support base.
  • the ingot mold and the guide means are mounted independently of each other on the support base.
  • the ingot mold and the guide means therefor risk moving out of alignment. If this occurs, the ingot is deflected as it leaves the mold and enters the guide, which considerably increases the danger of tearing the solidified wall of the ingot, which is very thin at this point. The same may be true at the point of junction of the two sets of guide rollers since even at that point the solidified wall of the cast ingot is still thin, the upper set of rollers usually extending only a short distance.
  • the frame of the upper set of guide rollers is of rectangular cross section and the guide rollers are mounted within the rectangular periphery of the frame. Furthermore, the frame of the lower set of guide rollers advantageously has a horizontal support surface at the upper end thereof and the frame of the upper set of guide rollers is fixed to the horizontal surface.
  • the two frames may be interconnected by fastening elements which may be rapidly removed, such as cotter pins.
  • FIG. I is a schematic elevational side view of one embodiment of a continuous ingot casting installation, with an arcuate guide path for the production of steel billets;
  • FIG. 2 is a transverse vertical section along the median plane of the ingot mold and the upper part of the ingot guide;
  • FIG. 3 is a horizontal section along line 3-3 of FIG. 1;
  • the guide rollers 20 of the upper set are mounted in frame 22 which is carried by the frame of the lower set 10 of guide rollers and is rigidly fixed thereto, for instance by bolts. As is conventional and forms no part of the present invention, the position of the rollers 20 in frame 22 may be adjusted.
  • the upper part of the frame 22 forms a rectangle to which are affixed the bracket elements 24 which guide the oscillating movement of the ingot mold.
  • the guide elements carry two vertical rows of rollers 26 which guide the lugs 28 of an oscillating table 30 supporting the ingot mold, the lugs 28 being positioned between the rollers 26. With this arrangement, the ingot mold may be oscillated in the direction of the casting axis while being prevented from being laterally displaced.
  • the oscillating table 30 is supported by two levers 32 pivoting about fulcrum 34 mounted on the frame 22 of the upper set of guide rollers. These levers rest on shock absorbers 36 positioned between frame 22 and the levers.
  • the free end of the levers is connected to a mechanical or hydraulic means (not shown) for reciprocating the levers so as to impart the desired oscillating movement to the ingot mold on table 30.
  • the upper frame 22 and the guide elements 24 are directly and rigidly fixed to the frame of the lower set 10 of guide rollers, they follow the deformations of the lower frame so that any lateral displacement of the ingot mold in respect of the upper guide rollers or between the two sets of guide rollers is avoided.
  • the frame of the lower set of guide rollers has a horizontal support surface 40 at the upper end thereof whereon is fixed the frame 22' of the upper set of guide rollers.
  • conduits 46 of the cooling circuit for the ingot mold and the upper guide frame are connected to the feed lines for the cooling medium by a joint 44 which may be rapidly disconnected so that the unit formed by the upper guide frame 22' and the oscillating ingot mold support may be readily dismantled.
  • An installation for continuous ingot casting comprising 1. an ingot mold,
  • a guide means for a cast ingot including an upper and a lower set of guide rollers each mounted in a respective frame and the guide roller frames being arranged end-to-end,
  • the frame of the upper set of guide rollers being solely supported directly on, and being rigidly fixed to, the frame of the lower set of guide rollers, and
